Beschreibung

We are looking for a couple of workawayers to come for about two weeks in January/ February

We are looking for a lot of help in the garden, clearing up old outbuildings and some decorating. Also may need help sorting out and labelling linen and some spring cleaning. One of the pair needs to be strong and preferably knowledgeable about gardening and experienced in general maintenance.
Help us and stay in a lovely cottage in Frogmore, Devon. We (just two of us) are a very active recently retired couple who live in Devon, deep in the South West of England. A very lively dog shares our lives and there are always people calling in. Your cottage will be adjacent to ours so you will have independence and privacy.
Both properties overlook the creek and there is a Kayak available for you to use on fine days and when the tide is in. The nearest holiday town is Salcombe, at the end of the creek,
We are near to Kingsbridge and Dartmouth with a bus that runs between the two towns. It is lovely walking country.
Workawayers can be a couple or individuals.
Really want people January/February.

Vom Host für Workawayer (lucia & Jayden)

Jayden and Lucy are a lovely couple. They may be young but they are hard working, interesting and such fun to have around. Always eager to help out whatever the task....with us it was mainly decorating and gardening... but they were also keen to learn and experience the local way of life. Here in Devon it was Bell ringing, pub life, going to folk… read more gigs and walking the coast with the dog. A very appreciative young couple whom I don't hesitate to recommend.

I was their first workawayer but they made me feel welcome from the very beginning.
Julie and Peter are very active. It is never getting boring with them. If it is a trip to the nearest cities to a sport program, restaurant with Fawlty Towers or the… read more local pub there is mostly always something that they do.
Frogmore is a small but nice and very friendly village and Julie and Peter introduced me to their friends who all are very open and friendly and you find always someone to talk with.
The work was mostly gardening in their beautiful garden but the work wasn't so hard they always made sure that you are not working too much.
When we went with Chessie for a walk, Julie always showed me new places and beaches and I am very thankful for that because Devon has some gorgeous places.
Chessie is very active dog and she loves If someone is playing with her and If you do some gardening you always have her beneath you to help ;)

I am so thankful that Julie and Peter let me stay with them and for all the places they took and showed me and that they made me feel as part of their family.
